In the 1960s, the one-room schoolhouse 112c at
Iron Hill became the Iron Hill Museum. Since
then, over 100,000 students have visited and
enjoyed the benefit of hands-on learning. Now a
new era in participatory learning is on the
horizon. The proposed New Learning Center for
Delaware will supplement and strengthen the
social studies and science curricula of area
schools and be a resource for teaching science
and local history. Teachers and students, among
others, will benefit from the Center’s
facilities and programs, featuring Delaware’s
history, archaeology, geology, wildlife and
natural sciences. |
|
Online activities will
invite individuals to explore the museum and special
projects in conjunction with the Center’s resources and
the adjacent 335-acre Iron Hill Park. |

New Castle County has already
contributed over $1,000,000 toward the
building, roads, water, sewer and other
infrastructure needed to serve this
outstanding vision for a hands-on social
studies and natural sciences center for
Delaware. This Capital Campaign seeks to
raise another $2.5 million to build the
New Learning Center and create an
endowment for educational programs at
the learning complex. Join us in
expanding opportunities for students of
all ages to experience the rich heritage
and natural beauty of Delaware’s Iron
Hill. Become a founding benefactor of
the New Learning Center for Delaware!
